Pelican 1600 Custom Foam Insert

The Pelican 1600 is the large flat case for camera and lighting kits, multiple pistols and AV gear. We CNC-cut a Pelican 1600 custom foam insert to the 21.51" x 16.54" interior with a pocket for every item.

Pelican 1600 foam insert, cut to your gear

A 21.51" x 16.54" floor holds a lot, so a routed layout with finger notches matters: everything has one place, and a missing item is obvious at a glance.

  • Camera and lighting kit – bodies, lenses, LED panels and batteries
  • Four to six pistols with magazines for a range or instructor set
  • Drone with controller, props, batteries and a laptop

Send the Pelican 1600 model number and your gear list, or build the layout in the online designer.

How to order Pelican 1600 foam

  1. Pick the case

    Open the online foam designer and choose the Pelican 1600 from the list, or type the interior length, width and depth.

  2. Lay out your gear

    Drop items in from the gear library or draw each pocket to size. Prefer not to? Send us a gear list and a straight-down photo instead.

  3. Approve the layout and price

    The price shows as you build. Nothing is cut until you approve the layout.

  4. We CNC-cut and ship

    Cut from closed-cell cross-linked foam on our CNC machine in Pomona, CA.

Ready-made RAGAR insert for the Pelican 1600

Not every Pelican 1600 needs custom pockets. The Pelican 1600 foam insert is a reusable RAGAR insert in a 21.75" x 17" footprint sized for this case: you press the blocks apart around your gear, and rebuild the layout any time without cutting. Choose custom cutting when you want CNC-routed pockets for a fixed kit; choose the RAGAR insert when the kit changes.
